Summary: An Aboriginal engraving of a large whale on a flat rock surface in Mangrove Mountains. Nearby are two Aboriginal wells.

Located on private property in the Mangrove Mountaim area, this rock engraving of a whale was first documented by Ian Sim in 1966.

Described as having a “Faint, smooth groove visible only under suitable light conditions” over fifty years ago, it’s hard to make out the detail of the body, which includes five small fins. However, you can see the entire outline of the whale’s body with the right lighting.

A more unusual feature of the site is two Aboriginal wells; despite being located at the the highest point of the small hill, both are always full of water even during dry periods. One of the them, which is now surrounded by scrub, is well over a metre deep.
